               1.     PROPOSAL
               The applicant seeks Council’s agreement that the following changes are generally in accordance
               with the approved plans of development for the site:
                    • Exclusive use of stairway to Unit 7 (previously Units 7 and 8)
                    • Exclusive use of 2 car parking spaces
               The applicant submits: Since gaining the minor change approval, our client has commenced
               construction. The staircase from the carpark to the unit entrance was previously providing access
               to a common landing of two units (i.e. Unit 7 and Unit 8) but is now only servicing one private unit
               (i.e. amalgamated Unit 7). As such, an agreement was reached with the Body Corporate to
               incorporate this staircase and landing into the lot area of the unit, as shown on the survey plan
               attached in Appendix A. This would include placing a gate at the bottom of the staircase adjacent
               to the two exclusive use car parking spaces as shown on the GIA plans attached in Appendix B,
               providing additional privacy and security.
               2.     BACKGROUND
               A development approval for Multiple Dwellings (8 units) was approved by Council at its December,
               1979 meeting.
               On 21 October 1986 Council approved to remove one (1) onsite visitor car spaces for the
               construction of a swimming pool in its place.
               A minor change was approved on 19 October 2022 for the purpose of amalgamating Units 7 and
               8 to form the one unit.
               3.     ASSESSMENT
               3.1. Instruments for Statutory Assessment
               The following codes from the Noosa Plan 2020 are applicable to the proposed changes:
               •     Medium Density Residential Zone Code;
               •     Noosa Heads Local Plan Code;
               •     Dual Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling Use Code; and
               •     Works Codes.
               The applicant has provided amended plans that clearly detail the location of the works i.e.,
               placement of gate/ doorway. The works do not result in additional gross floor area, as stairs are
               excluded from floor area, as per the administrative term. Exclusive use of the 2 car parking spaces
               does not raise any non-compliance as the previous development required 1 space per unit.
               The development is considered generally in accordance with the development permit.
               4.     CONSULTATION
               Not applicable
               5.     CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
               The changes are considered minor and are in keeping with the approval and can be considered
               generally in accordance with the approval. The proposed development generally complies with the
               requirements of the planning scheme and does not raise any significant issues that cannot be
               addressed by reasonable and relevant conditions. The generally in accordance request is therefore
               recommended for approval.
               The report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.
               RECOMMENDATION
